Collin LaFleche | “Adolescence, photobooks and New York City,” The Meander
From the The Meander:
The Meander: Tell us a little about yourself.
Collin LaFleche: I grew up in a suburb of Boston called Newton. I spent some time in Boston and Cambridge as a teenager but mostly I remember my childhood as a time when I could walk anywhere I wanted to go, which is probably one of the reasons that New York feels comfortable to me. I spent a lot of time outdoors, and a lot of time following baseball statistics, and a lot of time drawing. When I was 14 my neighbour and I built a tree house together.

Women Who Look Like Mary
In this series, first exhibited at ClampArt as a part of “The Hand of God,” Nancy Burson presents a companion piece to her series, “Guys Who Look Like Jesus,” turning the focus of the portraits towards the Virgin Mary. Unlike the series depicting the figure of Jesus, where she acquired the subjects of the portraits through a “Village Voice” ad, Burson photographed women of various ethnicities whom she personally knew and believed to resemble the religious icon.
In this series, as well as in the companion piece, the artist bookends the photographs with both a composite portrait of these likenesses plus another amalgam of art historical representations of the religious figure. Burson takes viewers’ expectation of the appearance of the religious icon and juxtaposes it with the images of her photographic subjects.
Judging applications for The Tierney Fellowship
This afternoon I am taking time to judge applications for The Tierney Fellowship. The Fellowship was created in 2003 by The Tierney Family Foundation to support emerging artists in the field of photography. The primary goal of the Fellowship is to find tomorrow’s distinguished artists and leaders in the world of photography and assist them in overcoming the challenges that a photographer faces at the beginning of his or her career. ClampArt’s own Joshua Lutz was a Fellow in 2007.
The work is very strong across the board. Interestingly, the applications are mostly documentary this year.

Water Paintings
In all-black paintings, Karen Gunderson conjures vast landscapes through what critic Gerard McCarthy described in Art in America as a “deft working of surface texture alone.” He continues, “Over the past eighteen years the Wisconsin-born New York artist has perfected a technique whereby pictorial illusions result from white light reflected off the raised edges of varied brushstrokes.”
Due to the way in which light reflects off of the black paint, Gunderson’s canvases sparkle, shift, and change as viewers move about the artworks.
Mountain Paintings
“Karen Gunderson’s all black paintings of mountains in Tibet and constellations of night skies rest uneasy in various histories of painting. Monochrome and representational, they defy well rehearsed assumptions of the history of twentieth century abstraction, and engage with a broader concern for the ability of painting to represent subject matter that often remains invisible, such as concepts of essence and world history.”—Christian Rattemeyer
